LOL at Arkansas seriously overpaying....

[AuHoosier420]

How much is Arkansas paying him? Cal was getting 9 million at UK. He was making more than Nick Saban for a while.

9.5. The next highest in the SEC is Barnes, Pearl, and Oates who are all just under 6.

For a second there, I thought you were going to request to see my manager.

The thought occurred to me to direct your manager to let you go. but I'm fond of you, so I didn't.

You getting ready for UK/ILL?

I'm digging this UConn v Florida game. UConn has hit their stride, that is not an 8 seed on the court with Florida, looks more like a 2.

I'm ready for Hurley to take an NBA job.

I'm definitely ready for the Ill v UK game. I'm encouraged by Bilas picking UK, but I have my doubts, Illinois looked really good Friday night and UK looked off.

Any idea what the record number of SEC teams in the sweet 16 is? Already at 3. Could be at 7 after today

We got by ILL by the skin of our teeth. I think it will come down to who is healthiest.

Doubt there's ever been 7, the SEC notoriously stinks in the NCAAT.
If Florida doesn’t lill UConn, they ain't making it. This UConn team is no 8 seed.

Matchups matter and this Illinois team is so jekyl and hyde, nobody knows which one is going to show up today, but hopefully Pope can coach some magic.

uconn has won titles before as a 4 seed, 5 seed and also a 7 seed. crazy what they play like in the tourney every year

 

[JimboBBN]

I would feel worse about the game today if Illinois didn’t play the game of their lives on Friday. They hit everything they threw up

Given their history, I like UK today

I had a conversation with Duke Devils about getting UConn on the tournament. I was worried Hurley would get this team playing like this and he did. This is a dngerous team right now.

if they best florida they are going to the final 4 at the very least. texas tech would be hardest out left for them

Great coaching and effort from UCONN, but couldn't overcome talent.

 

[ExitFlagger]

It is kinda wild how Calipari can lose to St Peter’s and Oakland first round, and then the next year beat two hall of famers to make it the sweet 16. Kinda rootin for em.

This team’s more talented than the one that lost to St Peter’s.

Last year’s rotation was full of freshmen, and they choked hard vs Oakland. Not much a coach can do when his shooters suddenly can’t throw it into the ocean.

And the other guy can't miss the ocean.

They’d have gotten rolled by Texas Tech.

I agree, but the issue was defense. UK had no idea how to guard 1 guy. They let him get everywhere he wanted to go. They allowed him to run right through our entire defense over and over wothout a single UK player putting a body on him.

The last 3 UK teams Cal had, played extremely tight and let the pressure implode them. Cal coached tight too.

Cal looked very motivated and loose so far in this tournament and his team has played with great confidence. They look good.
